^<40>Ar-^<39>Ar AGES AND PALEOMAGNETIC DATA FOR METAMORPHIC AND IGNEOUS ROCKS FROM MAHANADI AND GODAVARI GRABENS, EAST INDIA
Age dating and Paleomagnetic studies were performed on metamorphic and igneous rocks collected from Mahanadi and Godavari Grabens, Eastern Ghats in India, in order to estimate the paleo-position of the Indian plate that was a part of Gondwana up to early Cretaceous. ^<40>Ar-^<39>Ar datin...
